To get this game under way hasn't been easy. So a big thank you to all those involved behind the scenes who have fought tooth and nail to secure venues allowing us to prepare for this crucial fixture. We hope to repay those efforts in a couple of hour’s time.
I have no doubt Esher will arrive here confident of beating us this afternoon, they are a very strong team and we have the upmost respect for them. We haven't been beaten at home for 18 months and they will need to be at their very best to beat us at the athletic ground today. It will no doubt be a fiery encounter, as all good derby games are, but one I hope will be packed with the quality of rugby this fixture warrants.
